Hi there,

I am in the process of upgrading our thredds installation from 4.2.8 to 4.2.10. 
 I have not touched the config files in the content/ directory.

The THREDDS server works fine for OpenDAP and http requests, including crawling 
our datasets, however WMS doesn't work.. the following is found in the tomcat 
localhost-2012-xxx.log:

I notice that the ThreddsVectorLayer.class and ThreddsServerConfig.class files 
are indeed changed, but I cannot find  any doc references of required config 
file changes. I can confirm that my threddsConfig.xml begins with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<threddsConfig>

  <serverInformation>
    <name>Motherlode TDS</name>
    <logoUrl>threddsIcon.gif</logoUrl>
    <logoAltText>Motherlode TDS</logoAltText>

    <abstract>Scientific Data</abstract>
    <keywords>meteorology, atmosphere, climate, ocean, earth science</keywords>

(i.e. contains <abstract>) (it's a dev server, our real info was never updated!)


The data does include an auto-generated vector layer, ( if that is relevant. I 
get the error for multiple  datasets (when using WMS) using the config:

    <netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2";>
       <variable name="eastward_wind" orgName="wind_u" />
       <variable name="northward_wind" orgName="wind_v" />
    </netcdf>

this was working well using 4.2.8.

does anyone have any ideas ?


thanks and regards,

-ivan
